"Dear Mr. Bayard and Mrs. Hendricks,<br /><br />We are all back home to Chile, after spending two unforgettable weeks in your wonderful  Green Links Villas in Naples.<br /><br />On behalf of my family and myself, I take the chance in thanking you very much indeed for such a great and friendly service given to all of us.<br /><br />As you know, we made a door to door journey only: From our home in Santiago de Chile directly to your Villas via MIA to Naples, and from your place,  a direct connecting flight from MIA back to our home. No further places, neither other hotels. Green Links was the perfect place to stay, and so very well located, as to use it as our daily base to head around to so many places.<br /><br />From the very beginning, and even earlier to our arrival, Samantha Hendricks already answered my pre-arrival mail, and together with Kathy, Aldo and all staff gave us in every single request not only the right answer or solution, but also throughout a close clients orientated friendly support, beyond expectations and by far, a most proactive attitude. The whole team run the extra mile, and with a very notorious spirit of doing all of it in such a good way.<br /><br />As a frequent traveler abroad, and based on what I/we have experienced on it accordingly, your staff and the Villas are (and will be) a most recommendable place to go and stay, for which I will be glad in giving to anyone around such great hint.<br /><br />Well done to you all, and congratulations.<br /><br />One more last request from this humble peasant: I understand that the boss above of all of you is a gentleman called Joseph Boff. If it is not inappropriate, I would kindly ask you to resend this mail to him, and I do ask for it, as he should know the kind of great service and wonderful personnel support delivery he has, and accordingly, it was given to us.<br /><br />With very fondest regards, and certainly with the aim of coming back again, we send from this southern tip of our continent our sincere gratitude."<br /><br />Pedro Spoerer (and wife Jacqueline, and kids: Pedro, Josefina and Felipe)
"I am just writing to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Green links earlier in the month, everyone was so helpful and the our room was fantastic. I have been in the travel industry for many years and always wanted to see Naples and the surrounding area and I was more than impressed. A special thank you to Kathy on the front desk who went out of her way to give us the information that we needed. The golf courses are outstanding and I have no doubt you will see a number of guests recommended by us from Wales very soon."
"I have been meaning to write this note since our stay at GreenLinks through TAN the week of May 16, 2010. We had a wonderful vacation and were especially impressed with the people who work at GreenLinks. In particular, Kathy and Ashley were very gracious and helpful.<br /><br />Additionally, my daughter-in -law accidentally left her charge card in the condo when she went to the airport, and when we got home. we had received a telephone message to call GreenLinks. The housekeeping person had turned it in the charge card. As it turned out, my daughter-in-law had immediatly cancelled the card when she realized it was gone, but we were all highly impressed with the honest of the housekeeping person and the follow-up call from Kathy offering to send the card.<br /><br />Our thanks to Kathy, Ashley, the housekeeper and all who helped make our vacation at GreenLinks so nice."
"We are a family of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Kids) from Canada and this is our 4th stay at Green Links. I just want to tell you how wonderful we were looked after by Aldo (front desk) every time we have come to Naples. He has remember us since our first stay, and he goes beyond what is expected to make our vacation a good one. We have stayed at a lot of hotels/condos across Canada and the US, and I just wanted to advise you how lucky you are to have such a dedicated employee. Aldo should be acknowledged for a job well done. P.S. Hope to be back at the beginning of July."
"We want to thank you for a wonderful trip to Naples and specifically thank your "staff at the front desk! They were really on the ball, always knowledgeable, and helpful as we asked for assistance and directions. Our son and his family joined us on each of our two weekends making our stay that much more enjoyable and you staff were kind enough to provide with condos each time that were very close to us. Please give a big 'attaboy (and girl)' to your team!"
"Great bang for your buck. Big, clean condo units with golf course and/or lake views..."
"My husband, one year old son and I traveled to Naples FL for our anniversary trip. We loved the condo, by far the nicest one we have ever stayed at. The location was perfect, in between Marco (which my parents always visit) and downtown Naples. We went to Marco's South Beach one day, Naples Zoo and Venetian Village another, we even drove 2 hours to Miami one day. Our unit also had a washer and dryer that we used 3 times, with a small child it was a definite plus to have. I have nothing to complain about, I have already recommended the resort to my parents for their next trip to the area. We also highly recommend The Sushi Thai restaurant and Gracie's cupcakes both on Tamiami."
"Every Winter we get away from the North and go where it's warm, mostly to relax, not for any particular sights or events. Greenlinks was perfect. Nice condos, plenty of room for couples. Rooms were clean, kitchen well-enough equipped and screened balcony was very nice. Location South of Naples was quiet yet close enough to Naples itself; and being walk able to golf course was great. 2 terrific courses."
"Can't say enough about how nice and helpful the front desk staff was. Had four different people--all excellent!"
"Outstanding staff. Front desk answered every question, gave good directions, made suggestions, asked for feed-back to pass on, to other guests, helped w/ medical needs. When I finally asked, housekeeping found me a pillow that was more comfortable for me. Think you need a car, but easy to drive Naples. Restaurant in golf club next door. Stayed 2 weeks."
"Very relaxing! The staff was extremely helpful in finding local attractions. Beautiful landscaping throughout. Pillows were not very comfortable.<br />Best to read my blog of 8/26/10. Two paragraphs on GreenLinks Golf Resort, www.vacationfunflorida.wordpress.com or<br />www.vacationfunflorida.com and click on blog."
"As a returning guest I was very pleased that everything was as nice as I remembered from my last visit. We had a wonderful stay with you. Our accommodations were wonderful. "
"I truly enjoy my visits to GreenLinks Resort. It is a short trip from Miami. Whenever a reach the reception area, I am greeted like royalty. The golf view is amazing from any of the rooms. What a place:) "
"I make this trip 5 or more times a year with friends, family or self. The golf courses nearby were very convenient. We have visited many times and will again soon, keep up the great promotional pricing."
"Stay was very good! Everything including Golf courses were great!"
"My wife and I spent two weeks and even though we are not golfers we enjoyed it very much. It was our 9th year in Naples but the first time at Greenlinks. We were very pleased with our accommodations and the customer service we received. Hopefully we will be back next year."
"We have been coming to Greenlinks now for 6 or 7 years, the last two under your command. It has been the best two years for our group to come to Lely Resort and Greenlinks from my standpoint, because of the way we have been treated. Your staff starting with Dan and Samantha, Kathy, Ashley, Aldo, Paul and Ernesto have all been courteous, caring and professional. As you know, we feel our group is unique from other golf groups only because we made our event a charity cause. This last year we donated $4,160.00 to Special Olympics Illinois. Greenlinks helps us by giving us good prices , good accommodations and outstanding service. It makes my job easier to organize the event. I feel Greenlinks, Lely Resort and the Gjilbare Group have made a great team. The charities are reaping the rewards. I just want to say "thank you". I do appreciate all you, Dan, and your staff do for us."<br>Tom Tibbetts III<br/>
Samantha, Thanks for the excellent accommodations. We really enjoyed everything as usual. Thanks again and we will look forward to seeing you again.
I want to extend our deepest gratitude for this weekend!! Your care for us and our group was absolutely amazing and we all felt it! We were truly blessed to be able to work with you both and to have our event at your facility. The staff was amazing and always willing to assist us with anything that we needed. Ernesto was one of the most fantastic assistants, so much I started to call him our Fairy Maintenance Man because he always seemed to show up at the exact time we needed help (just like a fairy godmother!). Thank you seems inadequate for all the hard work you all did to make this weekend happen, but THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for meeting us Saturday afternoon to set up for the Everglades Community Church dinner. "We survived the "BIG STORM" unscathed. It was truly an adventure and I kept reminding my husband that someday we would laugh about this particular memory. I wanted to brag on Ernesto, your devoted employee. He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we had everything we needed to successfully prepare the dinner during the storm. He brought Steve an umbrella and even a raincoat. I applaud Ernesto for his thoughtfulness, efficiency and attention to detail along with an incredible positive attitude. I do hope you will share this letter with Ernesto and thank him again for helping us in so many ways. Please let me know if I should send this letter via snail mail for his file. As I mentioned, it was an unforgettable adventure cooking and setting up that evening. We truly would have been amiss without Ernesto, our angel in disguise. Please let us know if we can serve you in the future.<br>Highest Regards,<br/><br> Polly<br/><br> City Smoke Barbecue<br/>
Hey Sam<br />I've been meaning to write to you but I've been exhausted - still trying to recuperate from the weekend. On behalf of the 'ANNUAL' gang, I want to thank you for all your efforts in setting up and arranging for a wonderful time had by all. Please thank the rest of the staff for their warm hospitality and extend a special thanks to the clubhouse and golf staff for their utmost professionalism. They went out of their way to treat us as though we were royalty. From what I heard from the rest of the guys and what I observed, things could not have gone better. Next year we will be gathering in Jackson, Miss. but should be back down here the following year or year after that and we look forward to staying at the Greenlinks.<br /><br />Thanks again, Sam<br />Joe
Dan,<br /><br />I would like to thank you and your staff for setting up a memorable golf trip for me and my group. The golf courses were great and the accommodations superb. I would personally like two of your staff members, Kathy and Samantha. They took care of some extra needs for our group without hesitation. It was our first time their as a group and the feedback I got back I can tell you it won't be our last. Once again thank you for everything.<br /><br />Joe Foley

"I would like to thank you for your hospitality during our trip this past Labor Day weekend at the Greenlinks. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for the fruit plate and the bottle of wine. My girlfriend loved the resort and we will be back. Everything was first class and we had a lot of fun. We also enjoyed lunch and dinner at some of the restaurants you recommended.<br />This past weekend was the best birthday weekend I have ever had and it was because of what you have done.<br /><br />Thank you very much indeed and hope to return next year again on my next birthday celebration."
"Housekeeping- Villa was very clean... thank you!"<br /><br /><em>Dorothy V.</em>

"Very nice condo and resort. The staff was very responsive and we have booked another stay in March! We enjoyed our stay very much."
"Everything best! We will recommend and come back!"<br /><br />Best Regards<br />Holger Vismann
"This was our 5th visit and that tells you all you need to know! Just wish you could control the weather!"
"A really enjoyable week at the resort. We found the Sam Snead Tavern an excellent venue for eating and found no reason to leave the resort. Both courses we played on were in excellent condition."
"Everything was wonderful! The staff was super helpful and always friendly. The workshop room and dinner room were just what we needed, well maintained, clean, clean air. The grounds are immaculately maintained. The suite we stayed in was fantastic -- clean, nice feeling, had everything we needed. My only request would be to put extra blankets in the twin bed room. Other than that, perfect."
"Sam was a pleasure to deal with when booking. Great spot sort of under the radar for golfers."<br /><br />Cheers
"Just a great place in a wonderful location. Condo was in great condition and very roomy. Golf on the Mustang Course was terrific (but challenging). We loved our stay. We'll definitely be back."
"Hi Dan,<br />A quick note to thank you for a great golf trip. It couldn't have gone any better or easier and you and your staff made that possible. We do this trip every winter to different places in Florida but everyone agreed that we'll be doing Green Links again. Pass on our thanks to the ladies at the front desk who were extremely nice and helpful. One bit of bad news though. The Yankees are looking REAL GOOD !!!!<br />Take care,"<br />Mike LaPorta
"Great Golfing and Central to Florida Everglades<br /><br />Our extended family spent a week at the GreenLinks resort near Naples, Florida. The condo was spacious, clean, well-stocked. Pool area was warm and wonderfully laid out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The men in our group were pleased with their rounds of golf...have said they would like to return for a golf week! The family enjoyed the resort's proximity to the Florida Everglades, the National Park boat tours, to Corkscrew Bird Sanctuary, and to Naples and Marco Island with their great white beaches. We were less than an hour from Ft. Myers where we visited Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Lots to do in the area! Lots of outlet malls if you're into shopping. Would definitely go back to the area and to this particular resort. Excellent all around!"
"We were most pleasantly surprised when we received a call telling us that your housekeeping staff had found a pair of my earrings and that you would mail them to me. They arrived within a few days. Please extend our gratitude to whomever the person was who turned in the earrings. We will definitely recommend you and plan to return as well."
"Wish we had discovered you years ago. One of the best vacations we've experienced in a long time."
"The Front desk staff is top notch."
"Excellent Reception staff who appeared to pre-empt most enquiries with a prepared set of maps and brochures of the area. Would recommend this resort to anyone considering a visit to Naples Fla. Thank you GreenLinks for a most enjoyable stay."
"The staff is very professional and the property is kept to the highest standards."
"I had a marvelous time at the resort. It was too short of a weekend, but I would gladly return. What a great place to have a "staycation"."
"Took care of me well as I have stayed at the resort many times."
"We love Naples and Greenlinks is our favorite place to stay!"
